NScan vs. SuperScan

I've been collecting port scanners and vulerablity scanners for linux and windows and for windows ive found two of the best SuperScan by Foundstone and NScan by necrosoft. I was wondering what yall thought? (7th Sphere Port Scan is fast!)

[glowpurple]There were so many fewer questions when the stars where still just the holes to heaven - JJ[/glowpurple] [gloworange]I sure could use a vacation from this bull$hit, three ringed circus side show of freaks. - Tool. [/gloworange]

I use also superscanner, but another fun tool is languard.http://www.gfi.com/languard/
It's a more complete scanner, not only a portscanner.
But I cannot really use it, since our ISP blocks ports under 1024 :-(

One of the best scanners i've seen is nmap. There is only one minior problem - it work with it's full features only under *nix OS but there is also a windows version.
Try it if you want - http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html

Outbound or inbound connections, TCP or UDP, to or from any ports
Full DNS forward/reverse checking, with appropriate warnings
Ability to use any local source port
Ability to use any locally-configured network source address
Built-in port-scanning capabilities, with randomizer
Built-in loose source-routing capability
Can read command line arguments from standard input
Slow-send mode, one line every N seconds
Optional ability to let another program service inbound connections

I have all of those tools but my favorites are EssentialNetTools, IP-tools, Retnia, and WS_PingProPack along with SuperScan and NScan. But For *nix NMap is the supreme ruler. The Windows version is ok but instead of doing that i just downloaded cygwin and got the RPM from the Insecrue site and use the *nix suite that way.
